We started the year with a greeting from former grade school principal Dr. Steve Farrell. Dr. Farrell took Randy Ault-man’s place. Mr. Aultman took a new position at the District Office. There were other newcomers to the V.H.S. faculty. Dan Foss the new O.V. Shop teacher replaced Mark Pettijohn. Mr. Pettijohn moved on to Banks High School. Tom Krise had just finished his schooling career and is now the Special Ed teacher. Larry Emme took Steve Whiteman’s place, and teaches math. Bruce Dustin came from Jordan Valley and now teaches English and Spanish. The entire student body expresses their appreciation to the faculty. The faculty was always there for the students. 1.

During Homecoming week, their theme was “Spank The Spartans. They placed 2nd in hall decorations, 3rd in sign, and 4th in skit. Overall, the class took 4th place in the 1986 Homecoming activities. World Geography, Communication Arts, Math, Science, and a P.E. course are some of the required courses that a VHS freshman can look forward to. Favored electives were typing, Home Ec., and Drama I. They profited from school dances and thought of good ideas for next year. The Rookies,” as they called themselves fit in with their upperclassmen and made themselves at home in VHS. All of these aspects combined, made the first year of high school for the class of 1990, “A Time To Remember.” 1. The Freshmen class is totally impressed with the new tardy policy. 2.

This enthusiasm showed itself during homecoming week, when they took second in the skit and tug-of-war. For the second year in a row they captured first in hall decorations, while still placing second all around. Sports and drama head this classes list for showing their talents as athletes and actors. The class held various fundraisers during the year which included a bottle drive, various dances, and rent a sophomore. With all their enthusiasm and spirit for life this sophomore class brought V.H.S. alive with spirit. 10 Sophomores Wade Bruce Jill Budge Frank Cieloha Angie Crabtree Roger Outright Craig Dailey James Day Ed Dotter Tera Garcia Javonna Hillsbery Carla Holmes Steve Jones Dan Madsen Sherri Miyasaki Steve Morrison Michelle Paschall Sherri Pederson Lora Price Noelle Ragsdale Brady Remsen Janine Riley Connie Riley Brian Siebert Maggie Simpkins Roger Skidmore Kerri Utting Wesley Vaughn Michelle Wilson Bill Worley Linell Wright 1.

During Homecoming. Juniors received first place in four out of six events; spirit, sign. skit, and dress-up. They also won over-all competition. They have a lot of energy, which helped raise spirits in pep assemblies. The class had the responsibility of working the concession stand, which helped them raise funds to finance the Junior Senior prom. Some other events they participated in to raise money were miscellaneous dances, canned food drives, and bottle drives. The Juniors have a certain bond as a class. In fact, when asked, many Juniors said. We would like to go back to being Freshmen. That way we could do all the crazy things our class used to do. We don't want to be Seniors. We don’t want to leave our friends. 1. Junior class pulls strategically in their tug-of-war competition during the Logger Olympics. 2. Sharie White ponders over her Business Lab assignment. 3.

It started out with an exciting battle against Nestucca that lasted throughout a triple overtime-finally ending up as a hardwon victory for them. Although plagued by injuries the Logger team kept working and had one of the best offenses VHS has seen for a long time. Assistant Coach Ron Svenson said, Offensively we were led by Furl McMil-len, first team all league wide receiver and Bob Zavales, first team all league quarterback. The defensive leader was Robert Shafer. We lost Mike Shafer and Joe Reinisch for our last four games which hurt both our defense and offense.” Considering the team's inexperience at the beginning of the season they gave a lot of thrills, impressed the crowds with their positive attitudes, and their games were always interesting to watch. 16 Varsity Football 1.

Most of the players were coming out fresh and facing teams with two and three years experience. Coach Forgey explained “The team came a long way, from not knowing where to put the pads to running difficult plays. They learned to hit and just as important how to take hits.” Coach Forgey feels that if this year's freshmen play JV again next fall, Vernonia could have a strong and threatening team. The record for this season was two wins and six losses. The team had a tough comeback win over the Portland Christian Royals. The highlight of the season came with a surprising victory over the Knappa Loggers. The JV’s played like a finely tuned football machine against the Knappa team. Even though the team didn’t win as many games as they would have liked, they still had the time of their lives. 18 J.V.

Football 19 Time For Setting It Up “This was a relatively young team this year and the players can look upon this season with mixed emotions,” says Coach Dan Foss. There were ten team members including team Captain Noelle Aultman who also was awarded Most Valuable and Honorable Mention. There were only two Seniors this year on the team: Alyssa Skinner and Noelle Aultman. Both of them played outside hitter during the season. The team will miss their efforts next year. Most Inspirational award winner and league nominee, went to Sophomore Carla Homes along with Lora Price. They added greatly to the young nucleus of the team. Sophomores Lora, Carla, and Angie have much potential. Freshmen Betsy Simpkins was awarded Most Improved and was starting outside hitter for the majority of the season. The teams statistics overall were four wins and eleven losses. League scores were two wins and seven losses. Vernon-ia’s volleyball Lady Loggers had much enthusiasm throughout the season, “This was a memorable season for me as a coach,” says Foss. 9 1.

This year’s team was full of potential. With many good athletes on the team it has a bright future. The team ended with a respectable eight and eight record. “Nobody will forget the Claskanie tournament, the most memorable aspect of it was a game when three girls were crying on the court at the same time.” says Coach, Bruce Dustin. The girls lost that game but they went on to place 5th out of eight teams. Lois Osborne was voted most valuable, Jeni Prohaska was most improved, and Linell Wright was most inspirational throughout the season. The team was led by strong plays from captain Sherri Pederson, setter Darilee Aultman, outside hitter Cindy Port, and middle blocker Lois Osborne. Consistency came from Melissa Schmidlin, Jeni Prohaska, and Linell Wright. “This team has the potential to do quite well in the near future,” says Varsity Coach, Dan Foss. 7 t Coach Dustm and Casae watch the game intensely 2 Melissa goes up for a block 3 Sherri serves the ball over 4 Back row.

For the last 14 years Vernonia has sent either a boys or girls team into the State finals. After finishing second in district, the girls team went on to tie for 7th in State. But lack of a 6th place runner, forfeited the Loggers to an 8th place standing. Even though the girls finished 8th this year, said coach Melvin Nice, “there was only a few points difference between the 5th and 8th place teams. The incomplete boys team consisted of one senior and two sophomores. Through much of the season, the girls team also was only partial. But two additions late in the season proved an asset for the team. Freshman, Jenny Price, was the 1 girl runner and sister Jackie was the second runner for Vernonia. In State, Jenny finished in 8th place with a time of 11:40. It was the highest place and best time ever for a VHS girl runner. The Cross-Country team hopes to have a better turnout next year. With the quality of runners that VFIS has produced, there should be even better years in the future for girls and boys Cross-Country. 24 Cross Country 7 Cross Country 25 Homecoming Time For Spirit Homecoming 1986 presented many changes to the V.H.S. student body. There were many events for class competition including the traditional signs, skits, hall decorating, and spirit competitions. The first annual Logger Olympics featured arm wrestling, tug of war, and a Volkswagen push. Generic day, Polyes-ter Clash day, and Blue Gold day were the three dress up days during a shortened spirit week. Mike Shafer and Noelle Aultman were crowned King and Queen during the coronation ceremonies on Thursday evening. Also reigning over Homecoming festivities were Princesses Dawn Anderson and Heidi Outright, and Princes Jarkko Maenpaa and Darwin Holm. After coronation, there was the traditional bon-fire. On Friday evening there was also the football game and dance. Despite our disappointing loss to the Sheridan Spartans, and the festivity changes, Homecoming 1986 was, indeed, a great success. 1.

They worked hard at fundraisers to earn money for uniforms and extras. Again there were four squads: football, wrestling, JV basketball, and varsity basketball. The football cheerleaders attended camps last summer and started out the season with some great pep assemblies-assisted by the Student Leadership class. The varsity basketball cheerleaders did a good job, although they were unable to attend the cheerleading competition in Springfield. The JV squad did unexpectedly well with only two girls. They kept their team's spirit up. The wrestling squad consisted of five girls. They cheered their boys through the District Tournament, and urged them on at the State Tournament. Some of the girls plan to attend summer cheerleading camps to get new ideas for VHS spirit. 30 Cheerleaders 5 1.

Cheerleaders 31 Wrestlers Live To Struggle The 1986-87 wrestling team had a great season. We had a dual meet record of 19 wins and 7 losses and finished 4th at the Class A State Tournament. I think this team made tremendous progress throughout the season and the wrestlers should be extremely proud of their efforts and accomplishments. Individually, Matt Hillhouse and Mike Shafer were the team leaders. Matt was the state champion at 191 pounds and Mike was 2nd in the state at 168 pounds. Other wrestlers who won at least 20 individual matches were Darwin Holm, Matt Parris, Rob Wolf, and Steve Skidmore. Our stat girls-Jill Budge, Carlene Barker, Kelli Brewer, Pam DuVall, and Diana Conklin were outstanding all year long and greatly appreciated for their efforts. The wrestling cheerleaders were all veteran seniors and made our season much more spirited. This was a fun team to coach and set a high standard for future teams to match. The guys that are returning should form the muscles of an excellent team. 32 Wrestling WRESTLING VARSITY LETTER WINNERS 1986 - 87 YEARS NAME CLASS RECORD PINS DISTRICT STATE 4 Mike Shafer 12 33-1 26 1 2 1 Robert Shafer 12 13-10-1 4 4 2 Steve Skidmore 12 21-12 16 6 1 Bill Cavinee 12 7-14 1 6 1 Tim Wilkerson 12 18-11 6 5 2 3 1 Darwin Holm 12 20-9 13 2 Matt Hillhouse 11 28-1 21 1 1 1 Matt Parris 11 20-4 10 2 Rob Wolf 11 24-8-1 12 3 1 W John Ragsdale 11 11-13 8 4 1 Brian Siebert 10 16-11 3 1 Ed Dotter 10 16-13 1 5 1 Bill Stacy 9 15-17 9 5 i Jim Morrison 9 13-13 1 1 Tim Grady 9 8-15 3 1 Denny Dennis 9 3-1 1 James Mandes 9 6-12 4 8 5 1.

Even with a less than thrilling record, 3-17, there were some high spots to the season. Carla Holmes, a Sophomore, and Noelle Aultman, a Senior, were honorable mentions. Carla was the team's high scorer and best rebounder. Noelle, a point guard, led the team in assists. They gave strong contributions in the team's two surprising wins to Claskanie. The team’s only other win for the season was against Catlin Gabel. Even though their record implies that they had a dismal showing in league play there was an air of confidence at the end of the season. Yes, on record they struggled, but in fact they were into almost every game they played. Most of their losses were by under five points, and many of the games could have gone either way. They have the ability to pull it together to win some games and next year should be much better, reported their coach, Dennis Larson. “Next year,” said Coach Larson, we'll pull out those close ones. There are some awfully good freshmen players coming up in to the system in the future too. Not only will we be better next year, but we should have a strong team for many years in the future. 34 Varsity Basketball 3 I 1. Mila goes up for a shot as Chary and Noelle hope for the best. 2.

Varsity Basketball 35 Shooting It Up In Time The girls jv squad opened their season against a tough Claskanie team. Suffering a demoralizing 39-8 loss was not a good way to start. With a primarily freshmen squad, and a new coach, there were a lot of adjustments to make; a lot of things to learn for both the coach and the players. As the season continued, things did improve. There was another devastating loss to Claskanie, a close loss to Corbett, and a few games that coach Dustin claims the girls gave away - losses to OES and Warrenton. Even the coach admitted to his losing a game to Catlin Gabel. But, the key was that the team was improving; they were getting better. Interspersed among their losses were a few wins. Three fourths of the way through the season, they hit their elusive mark, they had an even season, they were no longer losing. In fact, they had won their last two games easily, bringing their record to eight wins and eight losses. Their last three games were against Catlin Gabel, Neah-kah-nie, and Knappa, not easy teams to beat, but beat them they did. Most of the players will be returning next year. Coach Dustin is confident that not only will the team continue their five game winning streak, and certainly have another good season, but, most important, he knows his team will avenge their devastating opening season loss of this season. 36 JV Basketball 1.

JV Basketball 37 Life On The Court The varsity basketball team had a rather upsetting season with only two wins all season. There were several factors contributing to the 2-18 season record. Two concerns at the beginning of the season were, the lack of height and the lack of experience. As the season progressed these concerns became reality. Opponents took the ball inside and shot over the smaller Loggers, creating many problems, especially on the scoreboard. Except for two occasions, Vernonia was never really able to “put it together” as a team. The two occasions when they were able to put it together they won. The two victories were over the top two teams in our division. Undefeated (in league) Knappa fell 58-57, and Warrenton was upset on their own court 72-66. The two victories became the highlights of a rather dissapointing season for the team, leaving the seniors with trying to forget. Those returning looking forward to next year, resolving never to let it happen again. 38 Varsity Basketball IBi 6 8 1. Tip off. 2. Furl McMillen lets a shot fly. 3. Back row: Coach Bill Howard.

Varsity Basketball 39 An Effort To Grow The JV boys basketball team was coached by Rueben Gonzeles, a young coach who was, in Jarkko Maenpaa’s opinion, “a very nice guy, and a good basketball player. He had to work with a very young team, without much experience, since there wasn’t a freshmen team this year. Rueben, running and practicing with the team, had the players support, and succeeded in making a pretty good team. The team won only a few games, against Lutheran, Catlin Gable, and North Clackamas High School, but they made the effort, which is what counts. The team was comprised of three freshmen, seven sophomores, and one senior, Jarrko Maenpaa. Jarrko was our foreign exchange student and the game of basketball was a brand new experience for him. Reuben promised, they’ll do better in the future. With the JV and varsity experience these young athletes have had this year, that should be a strong possibility. 40 JV Basketball 1.

They consisted of weightlifting, Life time sports, and two classes of regular physical education. Mr. Terry Nimz taught weightlifting fourth period this year. Mrs. Billie Wallace had a new class this year called Life time sports. It consisted of pickle ball, bowling, and tennis. The class learned the rules and regulations of bicycle riding, and they also were taught ballroom dancing by a guest, Susan Sorenson. Mr. Melvin Nice had a P.E. class which was graded on a day to day basis. “Mel-ball” was one of Mr. Nice's favorite games. Mr. Gordon Crowston taught competitive sports as a P.E. course. Football, basketball hockey, dodgeball, and kickball were some favorite games this year. Health was taught again by Marsha King. The class participated in the Health Fair and Blood Drive. Those who helped were given extra credit points for their grades. The class also learned first aid. Mr. Steve Calhoun taught Personal Finance, also known as P.F., and drivers education during the spring. In P.F. students learned how to balance a checkbook, fill out taxes, write resumes, budget money, and about insurance coverages. 44 P.F. P.E. Health 7 1. Guest.

The Journalism staff, which consisted of ten staff persons, including an editor, a photographer, reporters, and a graphic artist, worked consistently on the Timber-line. which was published every three weeks. The staff could be found researching, writing, and planning pages, aside from editing the story length to fit and writing headlines, which is also known as paste-up. After the papers were returned from the E.S.D., where they were printed, the staff congregated to fold the new edition. There were some changes introduced to this years Timberline, including a new design for the title page flag, a new typeface for body-copy throughout the paper, and the staff purchased a new computerized headline machine. The staff published a total of eleven issues this year. The Yearbook staff also worked hard throughout the year researching, writing, planning layouts, taking pictures, and attending workshops. There were eight people on the Yearbook staff who could often be found doing preliminary layouts, and rough drafts; however, there were also days when a final copy would be rolled off the press. On the off-days, the staff could be found trying to think of headlines for their layouts-often a frustrating experience. Everyone tried to match their headlines to the book's theme. 46 Yearbook Journalism 1. Craig Dailey draws lines, lines, and more lines on his final copy of a class layout. 2.

They both performed in various concerts and assemblies. The pep band played at most of the basketball and football games. The band also played at a Mass Band Festival at Columbia Christian High School. Then in April, Columbia Christian band came to Vernonia to give a concert. The chorus went to Luthern and performed in a Choral Festival. The chorus also went caroling through the school and downtown to local businesses for a Christmas treat. Furl McMillen and Sue Jackson went to Music in May. Furl performed in a 250 piece band. Sue sang in a 200 member choir. This year the band will be losing only two seniors and the chorus will be losing four. 48 Band Chorus 8 1. Band members: 1st row; Lisa Ragsdale. Mariya Thomas. Cindy Port. Jill Budge.

This area had five courses for the students to choose from: World Geography, World History, U.S. History, Government, and Modern Problems. World Geography was a freshmen course taught by Steve Calhoun. World History was a Sophomore course taught by Gordon Crowston. U.S. History was a Junior course taught by Ron Svenson; and Government and Modern Problems was a Junior Senior course also taught by Ron Svenson. Another subject area required was Science. Subjects to choose from in the area included: General Science, Physical Science, and computers, taught by Chuck Nichols. Another subject, Chemistry, was taught by Larry Emme. 3 50 Social Studies Science 1 During world geography Denny Dennis.

Many teachers shared this year's math courses: Mrs. Wallace taught Freshmen and Sophomores the practical application of basic skills in general math; Mrs. King taught the total application of those practical skills in consumer math; and a new teacher, Mr. Emme, taught algebra I and II, and geometry. In charge of the business classes was Mr. Ron Remsen. Business lab gives the students a wide variety of choices in the business area. It consists of six individual courses: marketing, business management, business law, office procedures, computer applications, and amateur radio. Accounting was offered this year as a separate class, but will be included in the lab next year. The business area was very well equipped and kept up to date, with five Apple computers, three printers, and thirteen electronic typewriters. 52 Math Business 1.

The Drama class did some pantomime, improvisation, scenes from various plays, and kept a journal. “You Can't Take It With You,” the Fall play, was directed by Shawn Stevens and produced by Mrs. Bonnie Schorzman and Mr. Chuck Nichols. Both new and old teachers taught in the language department. Mr. Ward Nelson taught Comp. I, Survey, American Lit., Literature of the West, and Speech. Mrs. Kathy Sevig taught Drama, Comp. II, English Lit., Adolescent Lit., Writing Skills, Novel, and Honors English. The C.A. and Spanish classes were taught by Mr. Bruce Dustin, a new teacher to Ver-nonia. Another new teacher to VHS, Mr. Tom Krise, worked in the LRC room with Mrs. Ilene Grady, and helped students that needed extra assistance in their classes. The Spring musical, Annie Get Your Gun”, was under the direction of Sandy Shaner. It was produced by Mr. Chuck Nichols and in charge of musical direction was Mrs. Bonnie Schorzman. Everyone involved in the Drama productions, You Can’t Take It With You , and Annie Get Your Gun , enjoyed themselves while earning valuable experience. The language students gained knowledge that will be necessary to them for the rest of their lives. All are looking forward to next year. 54 Drama English Spanish 1. The SYCAMORE’S in the play.

Art I students started off the year with graphics, and went on to drawing, water-color overlays, linoleum and wood block printing, Chinese and American waterco-lor painting, wheel and sculpture pottery, and glass etching. They finished the year with silkscreen. Art II students did many of the same activities, but specialized in specific areas. They began the year by drawing their hands and carbon dusting, and went on to watercolor painting, clay sculpture, stained glass, and acrylic painting. The Photography students gained knowledge and experience this year too. At first, besides taking general pictures, they learned chemical processes and equipment parts. Then the Photography students shot pictures at the coast, and at a log museum they visited along the way on their annual field trip-with the Art II students. After developing those pictures, they learned how to take pictures for a newspaper. Next, on a fun note, these Photographers snapped pictures, of an object of their choice, placed in some unlikely locations. The Photography students ended the semester with a photo collage. Taekwon-Do is offered second semester as an elective course or a P.E. credit. It’s a course with strong discipline and strict guidelines. This course not only emphasizes self-defense, but self-control, self-respect for one's self and others, confidence, and self-discipline. Taekwon-Do is an introduction to an art form which dates back to the beginnings of Korean history. This Martial Arts class is the only one offered in any school system in Oregon, and is open to everyone. 56 Art Photo 7 8 1. James Mandes. as he works various techniques into his watercolor. 2.

Hands On Experience The Home Economics and Occupational Versatility classes have been chal-langed in many different projects. The Home Ec. classes in the first semester have covered areas such as sewing (with two sewing projects,) clothcleaning, and ironing; and as color analysis and make up. In the second semester they switched to cooking projects. The teacher, Mrs. Wallace, taught the basic Home Ec. class how to prepare pasta, pastry, and pizza, while the advanced class was busy with harder projects as meal planning (e.g. a turkey dinner with all trimmings). O.V. was taught by Mr. Nimz and a new teacher, Mr. Foss, who was very impressed by the shop and said; “I’m very thankful for such a well equipped shop, because it makes it nice to work here. The shop was divided in six areas: Drafting, Plastics, Crafts, Woods, Hot Metals, and Cold Metals. The students learned most of the things by watching videos, filmstrips, books, equipment operation notebooks, and were then checked off on the processes. The more processing and machines they used, the higher the grades. They made many projects: cedar chests, etching mirrors, spice cabinets, wrought iron table with glass top, car stands ... Mr. Foss said that next year hopefully they'll also be able to introduce ‘Computer Aided Drafting’. 3 8 1. Rich Wolf, helped by Mr. Foss, is welding a sheet metal box. 2. Mmm!

There were lots of participants and lots of fun. Reflecting on the season as a whole, Mrs. King said, “Our win-loss record doesn’t really reflect the whole of our season. This has been one of my best seasons as a coach. There have been hardly any problems, and the kids have really been fun to work with. “There is tremendous potential here — that is what is exciting about this team and does not show up in the stats. Even our freshmen are getting better scores than any freshmen I have ever had. There are no seniors on this year’s team, and several of the other teams in the league are losing good seniors, so we should really be competitive next year.’’ Mrs. King was pleasantly surprised by the number of students who turned out for golf. The season started out with 27 players and by the end of the first week had lost two. By the end of the season the team was down to 22 players. This was Mrs. King’s last year as golf coach because of her leave of absence. This will be a great loss to the golf team, and they will miss her. 64 Golf 1.

Coach Mel Nice hoped to get 15 athletes to compete in the season, but, much to his surprise, the season began with 26 out. In the first three meets, the team placed third out of seven teams. “The success we were having was hard to believe.” Coach Nice said. “The athletes were doing much better than was ever expected. We were on a real positive roll.” By the end of the season, the number of athletes had deminished, leaving only 15 athletes who were still competing. “Our roll at the end of the season was backwards from the beginning, the coach explained, “Injuries, misplaced priorities, the need to earn money, and a couple of weeks of beautiful weather caused the number to dwindle.” Coach Nice still felt they did well, and next year should be approached with the idea that there will be a nucleus of young members that can only get better. 66 Track 1.

The prom was held in the Vernonia High School gym. The gym was decorated with a checkered floor, a soda fountain, and a jukebox. This was to give the effect of the 50s. All the people who went danced to the music of Father Sid and the Missionaries. When they were on break the people chose songs from the jukebox. There was a combination of 50s and 80s music played. This year's prom court was. Queen Amie Adams escorted by James Richards; Princess Michelle Alderson escorted by Tracy Armstrong; Princess Diane Port escorted by Doug Wilson; Princess Heidi Outright escorted by Todd Outright; and Princess Dawn Anderson. 68 Prom 1. 1987 Prom Queen, Amie Adams. 2.

Prom 69 It's Our Time The class of 1987 had their best year ever. They were actively involved in a wide variety of activities in the school and pulled together to form a class to be proud of. Class officers were President Angie Welch, Vice-President Alyssa Skinner, and Secretary Roberta Reynolds. At the last nine weeks a change was made and Alyssa became president. The Seniors continued to hold the usual fundraisers; beef raffle, spaghetti feed, and the biggest money maker, woodcutting. They also added some spice to Ver-nonia by having an old fashioned carnival, a community calender sale, and two performances by the Portland Wrestlers. Senior Advisor Nancy Dailey said. “After a slow start in their first three years of high school, the Seniors got it off the ground in their final year. They have worked hard together on fundraisers with their goal, Southern California for three days, always in sight. They are a fine group of young people that have shown us that they can achieve and meet their goals.” The class trip was extended from last years to include a tour of Universal Studios. a visit to Knotts Berry Farm, and a trip to the beach. Even with these added attractions the highlight of the trip was Grad Nite. Shannen Marie Wright Tracy Kay Yorba Not Pictured: Anthony C.
